Using CUPS

You can monitor an application by using Create User Provided Service (CUPS).

Prerequisites

Ensure that you create CUPS for TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition monitoring.

Procedure

  1. In the cloud foundry CLI, execute the command cf cups <monitoring_app_name> -p "url".
    For example: http://comtibcobwcemonitoring.local.pcfdev.io
    Note: Ensure that the name of CUPS for monitoring application should be bwce-monitoring.

    After the command is executed, you can see the service running on Pivotal Platform management web UI.

  2. Create the manifest.yml file in the directory where the application EAR file is exported.
    Note: The application name displayed on the monitoring dashboard is provided by the manifest.yml file.
  3. Add bwce-monitoring as a service in manifest.yml.
  4. In the cloud foundry CLI, run the cf push command to deploy the application on Cloud Foundry. After the application is deployed successfully, you can see the service running on Pivotal Platform management web UI.
    Note: After the application is successfully started, the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application gets registered with the monitoring application.
